The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2728

When he heard Charlie saying that there was still a problem that he had to deal with immediately, Hamed hurriedly asked, "Brother, what other problem are you talking about?”

Charlie said, "When I went to your place the last time, I realized that your base depends on diesel generators t o generate power."

"That’s right." Hamed said, "Diesel generator sets are fairly convenient to use, but the cost is just a little high."

Charlie said, "It's not just a little high, but the cost is actually very high. The cost is at least several times more than coal-fired power!"

Hamed hurriedly said, "I’ve been implementing the electricity-saving strategy here. During the daytime, w e do not use, or we only use very little electricity. The ordinary soldiers only use electricity for basic lighting at night. So, our overall electricity consumption is not that high, and the cost is still acceptable."

Charlie retorted, "It is obvious that you did not think about the long term. If you have a dozen or even dozens of fortifications in the future, you would need t o provide a corresponding power system to ensure that there is lighting, ventilation, communication, or

even cooking in these fortifications. If that is the case, your diesel generator would not be able to provide all o f that. Besides that, the cost of your diesel consumption would certainly be very high when it is running at full power." 4

When Hamed heard this, he exclaimed, "Oh! I totally forgot about this! But... but I do not have any other good options now. It is simply impossible for the government army to provide electricity to me. Moreover, I do not have the ability to build a thermal power plant. So, I can only use diesel generators to generate electricity to solve our electricity problems..." 3

Charlie then said, "Although there is no possibility of developing a thermal power plant at your area, you can try to develop a photovoltaic power generator." 3

"There is sufficient sunlight in the Middle East itself. Although the construction cost for the photovoltaic power generator is relatively high, the subsequent usage cost would be relatively low. The maintenance cost is even lower. You would only need to invest two o r three million US dollars once to build up several independently operated power systems that are powered by solar power to generate electricity. After that, you can also have an electric power system with accumulated battery storage. That way, you would be able to get rid of the need to use fuel to generate electricity. The electricity generated every day would b e more than enough for basic usage for your army of two thousand soldiers." "The solar panels for the photovoltaic power generator can be placed directly on the roof or on the mountainside near the internal reverse-slope fortifications to prevent your enemies from damaging i t. After that, you can place your diesel generator set in a safe cellar so that you can perform ordinary maintenance on it. You can use it to provide an emergency power supply to your base during an emergency. This way, you would have two power supply systems."

Speaking of this, Charlie said in an earnest and sincere tone, "No matter what you do, as long as it has something to do with war, you'll have to come up with an emergency plan. If your current plan is not working anymore, you can immediately change to your backup plan. This is the only way for you to increase and improve your chances of survival. To be honest, most of your subordinates are not highly educated, and you've not studied the military tactics systematically before. So, your team in itself already has a lot of shortcomings from the theoretical point of view. If you do not force yourself to think about it or study meticulously, it will be very difficult for you to continue surviving in this continuous war."

Hamed also realized the importance of Charlie's remarks, and he immediately spoke up, "Brother, your reminder is absolutely on point! I’ll certainly strengthen my understanding of this aspect in the future and strive to hurry and improve myself!"

After he was done speaking, he hurriedly said, "I'll also start working on the photovoltaic power generator as soon as possible. One hundred million US dollars is a very huge sum of money that can help me solve many of these problems easily. I’ll certainly try my best to upgrade and transform all aspects in the near future! I won't let you down, brother!"

Charlie was very happy to see Hamed's upright attitude, and he finally felt a little relieved. He did not dare to hope that Hamed would be conferred a rank of nobility or be made into a prime minister immediately, but he felt that it would already be regarded as the beginning of Hamed's success if he could survive and live.

After that, Charlie suddenly recalled something, and h e asked him again, "By the way, your subordinates are not really educated. If you truly were to ask them to operate the construction and mining equipment to build the fortifications, will those men be able to do i t?"

Hamed did not even have to think about it before he replied without any hesitation at all, "It will certainly b e impossible for me to rely on my subordinates. I cannot help but feel angry when I mention this. I asked them to dig a cellar before this. Eight out of the ten cellars that they dug actually collapsed. I think that it would be absolutely impossible for me to expect them to be able to build those permanent fortifications." i
